[uf-discuss] Microformat for programming language reference?

[James Tindall]

I do use pre and code elements when marking up code in html but that's 
not really what I meant. What I mean is that when I look at pages like 
this:
http://processing.org/reference/index_ext.html
It leaves me wondering whether many of the other scripting languages 
like php, ruby, javascript, actionscript and python could each be 
visually displayed in a similar way and using standardised class names 
and markup structure for the methods and functions that are common 
throughout each language? A standardised markup format (uf) for this 
kind of programming language reference page would I think be quite useful.
